Re: [Leica] The Panhandler...

hi, Simon,

It's slang for beggar.

As for the photo itself, I rather cringed when I saw the title.  Oh, no,
thinks I, another shot of some poor person, asking for money.  It's so
difficult to capture such street people without exploiting them.

But, I think you did it, David.  This is a very sensitive portrait of this
person, that seems to tell us something about him, delves into his
personality.  With no hint in the photo itself that he's a beggar.  Very
well done.

cheers,
frank
